I've been intimated by making bread since my first (and last) failed attempt many years ago. Your pictorial instructions gave me the courage the try again, and I have to say, I couldn't believe how simple it was! I made two loaves this weekend! I will be baking it again today, using the shower caps I went out to buy from the dollar store (thanks for the suggestion) to cover the dough during the 2nd rise. I once wrapped the dough (before the second rise) too tight, and my (oppressed) dough spread to the sides instead of upward (yikes)!. Still came out great (though it wouldn't have won any beauty contests)! Thanks so much for the recipe! It will become one of our staples! Excellent, JOanne - congratulations on your success! Glad we could help - PJH
